Shocking cattle farming looks like post-apocalyptic horror. This is where North American beef comes from. Each of these cows is an individual with thoughts, feelings and a complex personality. #animalrights #vegan

Bring vegan means to not support this gruesome animal abuse. Vegans don't eat animals nor animal products. We are healthier and live longer than the average meat eater. There are no valid excuses for still eating dead animals.
在屠宰场干了5年,告诉你一个秘密:动物今天要死,它们全都知道 我在屠宰场干了整整五年,每天跟猪牛羊打交道,见过的生死场面成千上万。说句掏心窝子的话,没入这行之前,我跟大伙儿一样,觉得牲口嘛,吃吃睡睡,稀里糊涂一辈子,哪懂什么生死。可五年下来,我摸透了它们每一个眼神、每一个动作,才发现自己当初多天真——这些不会说话的家伙,心里跟明镜似的,自己哪天走,清清楚楚。 平日里,待宰圈那叫一个热闹。猪拱猪、羊顶羊,抢食的打闹的,眼神清亮温顺,该吃吃该喝喝,天塌下来都不耽误长膘。可一到屠宰当天,那气氛说变就变,比翻书还快。整圈牲畜像商量好了似的,瞬间安静下来,挤成一团,紧紧挨着彼此,浑身抖得跟筛糠一样。那抖不是冻的,是打骨头缝里渗出来的恐惧。你赶它走,它四只脚死死扒着地,几百斤的大猪平时一轰就跑,那天愣是钉在原地往后缩,好像前面那条通道是鬼门关。老话讲“万物有灵”,我原先半信半疑,后来彻底信了。 牛的表现更让人心里发酸。但凡当天要走的牛,从早上起就不吃不喝,低着头杵在墙角,一动不动。我亲眼见过无数次,大颗大颗的泪珠子顺着牛眼角往下滚,湿漉漉的眼睛望着你,不挣不扎不吼叫,就那么默默流泪。有一回,一头养了好几年的老牛被主人牵来,主人站栏杆外看了一眼,那牛瞬间红了眼眶,直勾勾盯着主人,温顺又卑微,一步三回头地跟着我们走。那画面,我这辈子忘不掉。羊也一样,平时蹦蹦跳跳软软糯糯,临了却异常安静,紧紧偎着同伴发抖。赶别的羊成群往前冲,唯独那天,你推我挤谁都不肯带头,偶尔被单独牵出来的小羊,发出细细的凄厉叫声,不是闹腾,是真害怕。 时间一长,我们工人不用看单据不用记编号,单凭状态就能判断个八九不离十——活蹦乱跳的是来日方长,沉默发抖、不吃不喝、眼神惶恐的,全是今日宿命。你说它们听不懂人话、看不懂流程,怎么就掐得这么准?其实道理不复杂,流水线一开,前面的同伴一个个消失再没回来,后面的全看在眼里;环境里那股肃杀的气息、同类压抑的悲鸣,它们比人敏感百倍。俗话说“蝼蚁尚且贪生”,何况这些大牲口?它们沉默、发抖、流泪,不是傻,是无力回天的绝望。 五年下来,我这心态彻底翻了个个儿。刚入行那会儿年轻心硬,只当是谋生糊口的活儿,见多了也就麻木了。可干得越久,心越软,越觉得该存一份敬畏。走出屠宰场,我再也不糟蹋粮食,每一块肉背后都是一条热烈活过、恐惧过、挣扎过的命。它们从出生到落幕,没做错任何事,却坦然接受了既定的安排。反观咱们,衣食无忧平安顺遂,倒常常为鸡毛蒜皮纠结、为一点得失内耗,想想真有点滑稽。 所以你看,活着本身就是天大的福气。所有的矫情、焦虑、委屈,搁在生死面前,屁都不是。心存敬畏,懂得珍惜,善待万物,大概就是人这辈子最好的修行。说到这儿我倒想问问你——下次端起饭碗的时候,会不会也想起那些沉默发抖的生灵,然后觉得,眼前这口热乎饭,真香?

Amazing pigeon builds nest for pregnant cat. This pigeon realised her cat-friend was pregnant and built a nest for the coming cat babies. Animals can think, have empathy and even form friendships with different animal species. #vegan

This is done to geese for foie gras. Some psychos are against banning this. Imagine someone roughly shoving a long metal rod in your throat, blasting porridge right inside your stomach. You'd already choke from soft tiny cock.

This is what the foie gras apologists defend. It might not be an important issue for your privileged ass, but it is for the victims. People who trivialise this aren't humans, they're demons.

If you're against dog meat, you should also be against other animals getting turned into dead bodies.

Everything is yours when you have the power to take it and nothing is yours when you lack power to protect it. Most of you don't function on virtue or ethics. You function based on might makes right. You take the lives of trillions of animals per year, simply because you can.
Other peoples’ stuff is not your stuff. Yes, even if you think they have too much and you want it.

As far as animal rights activists go vegans are by far the most polite. Meat eaters will threaten to kill you if you cause an animal they find cute mild distress.

Annabelle blows air bubbles We know kids like to blow air bubbles while in pools, hottubs or with a straw and a drink. Animals are no different. They are similar to us and have fun doing similar things. #vegan

They wanna make a point and get back at Islam...fine. But they're doing so while disregarding an innocent victim, presenting their decapitated heads just like islamic terrorists.
Koreans grilling pork outside of a mosque construction site to protest Islam. Patriots.
